My baby doesn't like me?

I have some problem with my 3 mth old baby girl. She seems to cry over each and every other things like being disturb or being moved. She'll even cry more if the person is me, and this makes me feel so sad. My mother-in-law says that maybe her birth time and my birth time clashes with each other, so she's planning to ask in the temple what can be done. Feeding time is my worst nightmare, she'll start crying when I carry her and put the handkerchief on her. When my mother-in-law takes over, she'll keep quiet and start drinking milk. The only time she's happy to let me feed her is when she's extremely hungry like after 4 hrs sleep at night. Can anybody tell me why is this happening? It all started after she had her 6-in-1 jab at 2 mths old when she felt unwell that particular day when she had the jab. Anyone have this problem too?

It's not about the "clash" issue, it's about the technique when you hold your baby. Some babies are sensitive to hold and touch and they may prefer holding positions that makes them feel comfortable. Practice make perfect and you may be able to master the best and most comfortable position when you hold your baby.
Baby cries before you feed her may be caused by:-
1) Your baby want to sleep and she is not hungry- are you feeding her too frequent and she is over stimulized (too much playing and holding by the parents) until she is too tired and she cries to tell you "hey...stop it and i just want my sleep!". According to Dr. Denmark's book, the best sequence of activity is "eat, play and sleep" . If you sleep immediately after you feed her, she may not want to finish the bottle of milk at the next feeding time because she may be too tired after play and just want to sleep if you adopt the sequence of "eat, sleep and play". Or, you did not burp her enough that causes her to feel full as the gas are still trapped in the stomach.
2) Baby at the age of 3 mths old may undergoing a "curiosity" stage where objects and people that surround her are more interesting than drinking a bottle of milk. Try to feed her in a quiet room with no stimulation around and she may finish her milk happily without any stimulation that diverts her attention. If her milk intake during the day is too little, try to feed her during the night, when she is half asleep.
From your desription, your baby is a sensitive baby and only like to be hold in certain way that is comfortable to her. Can't help much with her cry unless you master the technique of holding her comfotably and most importantly, understand your baby's behaviour and you may know the right step to do on hnadling your sensitive baby. Good luck!
For your info, my baby girl is also 3 mths old and she is a sensitive baby too...easily wake up if there is noises around and only like to be hold in the most comfortable position. I'm learning day by day from taking care of her too:).
I'm currently reading a book "Secret of the baby whisperer" (translated version in Chinese). The book is really helpful for me as it tells me about what type your baby is and the way to handle the different type of baby. The book also contains info on how to read baby body language so that you can take action accordingly. The weblink for this book is http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/0345440900. The chinese version can be found at popular bookshop.

What my MIL said about clashes is not true at all... In Chinese zodiac sign, rabbit and goat can never clash. So I'm glad I chose to have her in the year of rabbit.
